Although public parks play a vital role in Americans’ health and quality of life, they are currently facing a funding crisis. In response, the Urban Institute, the National Recreation and Park Association, and their partners recently hosted a roundtable that explored ways to finance urban and metropolitan parks. Experts discussed urban parks’ largest challenges, including maintaining enormous amounts of land, serving a changing constituency, and addressing competition for public funds. Participants offered possible solutions, such as charging visitor fees, forming new partnerships, and increasing donations.
